Pros

Good salary. Events. Cool HQ. Access to all buildings.

Cons

You will preach the gospel of “do what you love” and “make a life not a living” but then you realize, you’re just there to try to help WeWork hit it’s numbers and support the members...and not “doing what you love” yourself. It’s a system you will get sucked into. Also lots of meetings. Roadblocks to get approvals. Micro management. Long hours. Not a conducive environment for people who want to become an entrepreneur themselves because WeWork will eat up all your time/life.

Pros

Great people in low-level (community management) roles. Free beer. Parties.

Cons

Everything else. Terrible work/life balance, delusional upper management, no pay for overtime despite regularly working 12+ hour days. They don't even tell you that the standard workday is 9-6 until your first day of work. CEO is a narcissist, too.

Pros

When you first start out, things seem really fun - happy hours, community events, supporting entrepreneurs and other community members. Free beer at work. Colleagues are usually nice and friendly when they're not being passive aggressive. Most of the members appreciate the community managers.

Cons

Passive aggressive colleagues, competitive culture instead of a collaborative one. Things behind the scenes are so disorganized, and employees don't feel empowered to change anything that needs fixing - very bureaucratic. The CEO is full of himself and is all talk - seems like the money has gotten to his head. There's a facade of community-building but it's all about filling up the space with people who have bought into the idea that they're going to be hip and cool because they can show off their office to their friends and family. I've heard and seen employees talk about the members behind their backs, and complain about the "customer service" side of things. Hello? That's our job - to help members do what they love.
